BASIC EXERCISES
The intensity and duration of each exercise depends on the individual user’s fitness level. Some
routines and exercise combos are described at the end of this chapter.
Remember these Golden Rules:
• Never lose control.
•
Choose exercises that correspond to your level of fitness.
•
Regular daily exercise is the key to good health and mobility.
•
Any physical activity, regardless of the amount, will help slow the
pace of any illness.
•
The Health Bounce Pod™ / BPod™ absorbs approximately 85% of
the body impact mass on joints and articulations.
1. 2-Foot Bounce
This is the most simple and efficient exercise to perform.
If you must choose a single 10-minute daily exercise, this is the one for you!
You may decide to push yourself and JUMP, but a regular gentle BOUNCE is just as beneficial.
This exercise is appropriate for most people and conditions.
Both feet stay in contact with the surface. Gently bend the knees to impart a low bouncing motion.
Always hold onto the C-hoop for stability and balance.
Tip 1: The optimal balance to strive to achieve is a rhythm of 100 bounces per minute, matched by
a 100 heartbeats per minute.
Tip 2: Listening to music while you bounce is the best way to follow a rhythm. It is also a very
satisfactory experience: try it!
